New college try: Push on to offer more educational options - KEVIN FLOWERS, Go Erie.com
A recent report by a committee of community leaders studying the community college issue recommended establishing a free-standing school in northwestern Pennsylvania. The report based that recommendation in part on the fact that 67 percent of the region's high school graduates go to college, compared with the state average of 72 percent. The national average is 66 percent. The report also states that Erie is one of five areas in Pennsylvania with "virtually no access to community colleges and has correspondingly low shares of workers with education beyond high school." All of Pennsylvania's community colleges offer day and evening classes. Many also offer distance learning opportunities, such as online learning classes, off-campus class locations and video courses.
